“That is absolutely acceptable, and I would expect nothing less.”
Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft believes Oscar Piastri could employ a tactic akin to Lewis Hamilton’s in a crucial F1 title decider. Hamilton famously secured his first title in 2008 by overtaking Timo Glock on the last lap in Brazil. The 2014 championship also boiled down to the wire, with Hamilton triumphing over Nico Rosberg. In 2016, in Abu Dhabi, Hamilton attempted to slow down the field to assist his title bid, albeit unsuccessfully. This weekend, with three contenders vying for the 2025 F1 championship, similar tactics might come into play. Croft theorizes that for Piastri to have a shot, he may need to back up the field and create pressure on Norris, especially if he starts from pole.
